'Mobility and collaboration in doctoral education - international and inter-sectoral', Budapest, Hungary
The European Higher Education Area of the Bologna Process and the European Research Area have very ambitious targets for increases in international mobility.
However, mobility at the doctoral stage requires special strategies developed for research. Doctoral education is highly individual and linked to the particular trajectory of research. For this reason, the instruments for mobility in doctoral education are different from the ones that we know from the first and second cycle.
They are not part of a collective and cumulative learning experience, but take place as part of an individual research project. Moreover, the skills and outcomes related to mobility are part of the highly individualised professional profiles that early stage researchers are developing. .
International mobility and collaboration with other institutions strengthen the profile of doctoral programmes and increase institutional research capacity. Collaboration with other sectors, such as industry, promotes a series of features such as innovation, entrepreneurship, social responsibility and diversified funding, all issues high on the priority list of universities and their doctoral schools.For further information, please visit: http://www.eua.be/events/upcoming/fourth-eua-cde-workshop/home.aspx(opens in new window)
